An Enriched Environment Enhances Angiogenesis Surrounding the Cingulum in Ischaemic Stroke Rats
Figure 1
The enriched environment (EE) ameliorated the Rogers scores of MCAO rats. (a) A diagram showing the behavioural assay by the Rogers score on days 1, 4, 6, and 11 and the effect of the enriched environment for 14 days after MCAO/r. (b) Twelve rats with free access to food and water were housed in an enriched environment cage (), in which a variety of toys were arranged for enriching the environmental stimulation. (c) A behavioural test using the Rogers score was performed on days 1, 4, 6, and 11 after MCAO/r. Repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) post hoc test was used for comparative analysis. rats per group; .
